Dining Room Plans...

I have been working on my dining room for a long time....
When I'm designing for clients its hard to find the time to work on my own home... 
So, its been a process.....
 I found this beautiful vase and it looks perfect in my dining room..

I wish I could get my home decorated in just 6 weeks.... 
Like Linda's One Room Challenge.....

A bunch of designers and bloggers re-decorate a room in just 6 weeks...

Man.....you would have to work around the clock...

I had bought these drapes from IKEA...
We were going to move and I needed something neutral to sell the house....
So, now that we are staying....

I can look for drapery fabric that I really love...  

Did I mention that the dog peed on them!?
Not really happy about that!

The blue and white fabric thrown on top is from Kravet...

I'm not sure I'm sold on it... 

I love this fabric from Schumacher.. 
Maybe pillows for my family room?

Duralee Fabric

I would like to add green into my living room and dining room..
So pretty! 
The fabric is from Duralee...

Remember when I took this on? 

It was exhausting!

This was my 70s furniture before....
outdated!
 I would love to buy something that has more of a contemporary feel.... 

But its not in the stars right now! 

It looks much better, but here is my to do list...

Side chairs have to go...to country. 

New drapes and rods...

The dog made sure of that...not liking the smell of urine!

Pictures for the wall next to the curtains..

New chandelier........

 I would love to add wainscoting or some wood details..
Maybe grass cloth....

I want the side chairs to be on the contemporary side and they need to have fabric on the backs.....

It would help soften the room...

I have some at my husbands studio which after it sells I'm thinking of bringing them home.

I really need to find art work for next to the windows...not digging those little shelves...to boring! 
It really helps to take a picture of your room...
It gives you another perspective.. 
You notice things you didn't before..
Have a great week!

A Cottage Side Table

It's gorgeous here today and I love this time of year.
I took Monday off to clean out my house...

I'm not one that's into spring cleaning and scheduling it into my life...but this is a have to do project!
I have two mattresses in my hallway and a mess of other things that will be going to my husband's studio...
It's going up for sell and I have to stage it... 


But, I wanted to share with you some styles that I'm loving....

Joni over at Cote De Texas showed this image on her blog...
I have always loved this shape of a table and I love the floral chintz....

Phoebe Howard uses this shape of table often in her designs, but it's not as rustic..

I would love to add it to a room with this fabric by Thibaut.. 

I'm thinking of where could I use this table!

Love how it looks in Nicky Haslams window..

If you want to see more of his work check out Cote De Texas Blog... 

( Thibaut)


It would be pretty to add the table into a room like this one too...


Do you ever see something that just makes you smile and you just gotta have it?


I'm exhausted from cleaning all day and were going out to dinner...so Ive gotta go!


Have a great week! 

Light Stained Woods

Have you noticed the 70s and 80s influence in design....

A lot of Clothes and Sunglasses Ive seen lately remind me of that era...
And the white washed woods in decor..

I'm loving the light washed woods Alessandra Branca used in her vacation home.

It works great with natural woods and a pop of color.

Pecky Cedar wood was popular in the 70s, but it was shown in a brown or natural stain...

It has a lot of texture and personality! 

I like the up-dated look!







 

It also looks great mixed with white painted woods and dark woods... 

Notice the floor...
 Pretty huh!

( Minnie Peters Design)

Dana Wolf used it on the ceiling... 

Isn't this a great shot?
Pekie Ceder stained green looks beautiful...

I like when there is a mix of  woods in a room and a mix of stain colors...it gives it interest...

Design is all about balance,color and texture...

When it's done right, a gorgeous room is born!
